3109-Find the Index of Permutation

Problem Description​

Given an array perm of length n which is a permutation of [1, 2, ..., n], return the index of perm in the lexicographically sorted array of all of the permutations of [1, 2, ..., n].

Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 109 + 7.

Examples​

Example 1:

Input: s = "cbadabacg", p = "abc"
Output: 0
Explanation: The first occurrence of a permutation of "abc" is "cba" which starts at index 0.

Example 2:

Input: s = "eidbaooo", p = "ab"
Output: 3
Explanation: The first occurrence of a permutation of "ab" is "ba" which starts at index 3.

Constraints​

  • 1 <= n == perm.length <= 105

Approach​

According to the problem requirements, we need to find out how many permutations are lexicographically smaller than the given permutation.

We consider how to calculate the number of permutations that are lexicographically smaller than the given permutation. There are two situations:

  • The first element of the permutation is less than perm[0]perm[0], there are (perm[0]βˆ’1)Γ—(nβˆ’1)!(perm[0] - 1) \times (n-1)! permutations.
  • The first element of the permutation is equal to perm[0]perm[0], we need to continue to consider the second element, and so on.
  • The sum of all situations is the answer.

We can use a binary indexed tree to maintain the number of elements that are smaller than the current element in the traversed elements. For the ii-th element of the given permutation, the number of remaining elements that are smaller than it is perm[i]βˆ’1βˆ’tree.query(perm[i])perm[i] - 1 - tree.query(perm[i]), and the number of permutation types is (perm[i]βˆ’1βˆ’tree.query(perm[i]))Γ—(nβˆ’iβˆ’1)!(perm[i] - 1 - tree.query(perm[i])) \times (n-i-1)!, which is added to the answer. Then we update the binary indexed tree and add the current element to the binary indexed tree. Continue to traverse the next element until all elements are traversed.

The time complexity is O(nΓ—log⁑n)O(n \times \log n), and the space complexity is O(n)O(n). Where nn is the length of the permutation.

Python3​

class BinaryIndexedTree:
__slots__ = "n", "c"

def __init__(self, n: int):
self.n = n
self.c = [0] * (n + 1)

def update(self, x: int, delta: int) -> None:
while x <= self.n:
self.c[x] += delta
x += x & -x

def query(self, x: int) -> int:
s = 0
while x:
s += self.c[x]
x -= x & -x
return s


class Solution:
def getPermutationIndex(self, perm: List[int]) -> int:
mod = 10**9 + 7
ans, n = 0, len(perm)
tree = BinaryIndexedTree(n + 1)
f = [1] * n
for i in range(1, n):
f[i] = f[i - 1] * i % mod
for i, x in enumerate(perm):
cnt = x - 1 - tree.query(x)
ans += cnt * f[n - i - 1] % mod
tree.update(x, 1)
return ans % mod

Java​

class BinaryIndexedTree {
private int n;
private int[] c;

public BinaryIndexedTree(int n) {
this.n = n;
this.c = new int[n + 1];
}

public void update(int x, int delta) {
for (; x <= n; x += x & -x) {
c[x] += delta;
}
}

public int query(int x) {
int s = 0;
for (; x > 0; x -= x & -x) {
s += c[x];
}
return s;
}
}

class Solution {
public int getPermutationIndex(int[] perm) {
final int mod = (int) 1e9 + 7;
long ans = 0;
int n = perm.length;
BinaryIndexedTree tree = new BinaryIndexedTree(n + 1);
long[] f = new long[n];
f[0] = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
f[i] = f[i - 1] * i % mod;
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
int cnt = perm[i] - 1 - tree.query(perm[i]);
ans = (ans + cnt * f[n - i - 1] % mod) % mod;
tree.update(perm[i], 1);
}
return (int) ans;
